It only takes a spark to get a fire going, And soon all those around can warm up in its glowing; That's how it is with God's love, Once you've experienced it, Your spread the love to everyone You want to pass it on. What a wonderous time is spring, When all the tress are budding The birds begin to sing, the flowers start their blooming; That's how it is with God's love, Once you've experienced it. You want to sing, it's fresh like spring, You want to pass it on. I wish for you my friend This happiness that I've found; You can depend on him It matters not where you are bound, I'll shout it from the mountain top I want my world to know The lord of love has come to me I want to pass it on. To pass it on
